You can see such as seen in Chinese films of a very traditional building crafts. Sightseeing in China are very expensive entrance fee but only here amid the 10 is the original! It is a spot away from the Metro station and you feel the history.

It is a Museum of decorative arts. Basically all the exhibited artifacts from the second half of the 20th century, but what craftsmen! A bit of a shame for our country that we are not sufficiently appreciate their masters, it is necessary to protect and preserve our traditions and skills. Works by Chinese artists is admirable! There are items for sale, but heavily overpriced.

10rmb entry and a stunning collection of buildings and crafts. Lots of explanations in English and wonderful shops with beautiful craft items. It's a short walk from the Chen Academy metro.

One of the best Cantonese ancestral hall in Guangzhou. Well designed and beautiful architecture in Cantonese style. Very decent. The transportation is very convenient for those who take metro. I were there for several times with different friends. It's a must to visit in Guangzhou.

An architectural masterpiece with very rich, elaborate and countless artwork pieces. The rooms are filled with exhibits of prime Cantonese art, crafts and culture. Although the ivory section is very controversial. The exhibits are incredibly beautiful, but at what price?

Beautiful examples of historical Chinese buildings. Entrance fee is 10 RMB for adults. There are many art displays as well as a few gift shops. Almost everything is for sale. We had chops (stone carved stamps) of our name made here. The gardens are beautiful. lots of bonsai trees. Worth a visit for about 1 to 2 hours.

Where to stay in Guangzhou

Guangzhou's commercial industries make it well-equipped to host visitors, though do book well ahead of time if traveling during the peak fall and spring trade fair rushes. The city's gleaming skyscrapers contain a number of the best four- and five-star hotels in Guangzhou, while others lie tucked away in historical European-style buildings. For budget-friendlier options, a number of youth hostels welcome a steady stream of international visitors, though most are located outside of the city center.
